Neighbours: The 30th Anniversary

Neighbours is getting a new look for its 30th anniversary. New titles, theme and logo. They've even used CGI on the aerial view of Ramsay Street to include the new backyard sets on the backlot. Lots of cast returning as well and a new documentary.

Interesting how Madge is seemingly returning from beyond the grave...

Take a guess how she is coming back..

From the clip it looks like Harold may crash his car. I suspect he dreams of seeing Madge before coming round after banging his head. Or maybe Harold will die and his scene with Madge is get welcoming him happy ever after.

So here are the new titles and theme for 2015:

And most likely Channel 5 will cut out most of the closing theme...

That closing theme airs on Friday in Australia with more production credits. Monday-Thursday they get a 15 second version. For Channel 5 they make a 30 second version for our credits. They also are doing break bumpers as well now for Channel 5 which include the channel5.com/neighbours URL .

Will channel 5 air these titles today?

A vast improvement, even though they made such a big fuss about introducing the previous one with a singing contest!

Naff new logo!

They are probably the best yet in recent years.

It is good how the have the character and artist's name at the start.

Home and Away should adapt something similar.

Anybody else think the new theme sounds like the 1999 theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lomtwGJfARM ?

Also good to have the old logo back in a way!
